much better than that mess that @Chi-town blues posted a couple of pages back. I'm gonna have nightmares about that.

You want me to sing it again?

Its as if everyone writing a new "Sheik Mansour went..." song is using no tune whatsoever to base it on :-)

Corrected that for you...

Its as if everyone writing a new "Sheik Mansour went..." song is using a completely different tune to base it on :-)

I always use Old Macdonald had a farm.

I wonder if new signings are asking if Pep is going to renew his contract as part of their decision to come to us?

Girona will be happy. Alvarez doesn't really have standout quality.

Does n't scoring goals count?

It's so funny to me when people talk about serving in WWII as a response to opinions on a football forum, as if the fact that they make confident posts about signing Alvarez means they'd be capturing Nazi machine gun nests in 1943 lol

...and your point is ?

Imminent?

The minute it’s officially confirmed this thread moves to from this transfer forum to the Bluemoon forum

I just clicked your username and had a look at your most recent posts. You have consistency, I will give you that, and your posts made me laugh a lot - cheers.

I think Aguero is very slightly taller, but the main difference for me is that he had an incredible burst of pace that would allow him to break through the defensive line. He won’t be afforded the space here in and around the box. We play against teams week after week that defend with a low block. To be successful here in this league, you need to have something in your kit that allows you to break the defensive line. I’m not sure what he has right now that will allow him to do that, but I haven’t really seen anywhere near enough to make a firm judgment.

Álvarez is used to playing vs teams that defend with a low block. River is the City of Argentina. Everybody parks the bus vs us, even boca.

Gallardo and Guardiola share a lot of the same premises in terms of tactics: suffocating high press and a lot of ball possession. Gallardo might be a bit more direct than Pep, but in general terms they are very similar. Even on the scheme: 4-3-3 with a false 9 and fullbacks that get inside to work as defacto midfielders.

When Julian was rumored to go to United I was worried because they are a machine of stunting players' developments, and I always thought you guys were the best fit for him instead.

No hiring is a guarantee of success (if not, just look at Grealish) but I think this one is as good a get as you guys could have had, outside of getting the Halands and Mbappes of this world. The best player in South America, who happens to fit your style of play as a glove, and extremely cheap for your standards.
